Still set on hiring a new executive director by the end of the year, Indiana Legal Services Inc. has narrowed it search to six candidates.

The search committee led by Indianapolis attorney and ILS board member Patricia McKinnon plans to have the first round of in-person interviews with the candidates in early November, followed by the second round about two weeks later. By the ILS board of directors’ meeting Dec. 12, the committee hopes to present recommendations for the executive position.

McKinnon emphasized the organization wants to hire a director who will stay for at least 10 years. The agency does not want the top position to become a revolving door where new people are hired every one or two years, she said.

The nonprofit did not respond to a request for an update on the status of the search.
